Bar Lupulus supposedly has a great wine list, but they refuse to make it visible to their customers. You have to tell your server what you like in a wine and they will suggest two or three choices. This is soooo wrong and disrespectful of the cusotmers. They have told me their winelist changes frequently, so they can't afford to print it. Well, other restaurants, like the Brookstreet, have their winelist, which is continuously updated, on an iPad that is brought to the table so that the customer cna chose their own wine from the full list of available wines!

Everything was great. I would say the cocktails are on the smaller side for the price tag, but I guess that’s the norm these days. Server was absolutely lovely.
